@spencerpratt It can still be tricked. Taking the example of nursing homes I saw before: somebody goes around, unlocks the phones of the elders by holding it in front of their face and votes for them. In person voting with ID check is the only secure one (if you trust the Staff)
@TuckerCarlson This is not an interview, it's a shouting match. Neither Tucker nor Ted let the other side finish their questions, jump around things and it's just chaos. Ted was the one de-escalating, Tucker made a fool of himself and if the Plan was to "expose" Ted, he utterly failed.
The best FX story ever
My longtime friend Sal told me a great story yesterday. A story I had never heard before. Here it is...
In 1998, my grandad gave me 100 USD and the next day as I was walking past some money changers saw that for $100 I could get 14,500 yen. I figured more yen means more money so let’s exchange them! Three days later I got yelled at by my grandad when I showed him the wad of yen bills, so I had to return to the money changers and buy the USD back.
Somehow, I got 120 USD back! I wasn’t sure what was happening - maybe the fella made a mistake? So I went to the shoe shop next door and bought myself pair of shoes for 20 bucks. Then I went home and showed the 100 USD to my grandad. It was only 10 years later when I started in FX that I realized I had traded through a 6-sigma event in USDJPY in 1998 with that $100 bill.
BRENT

I have to disagree with the notion that ADHD is fake. My Son has ADD (without the hyperactivity but it's considered the same underlying condition nowadays) and dyscalculia. While I agree that this is not something like a flu which you can contract, it has something to do with the modern environment. Screens everywhere, toys which are short lived, a terrible school system and I don't know what else. So it's self inflicted that so many Kids have it for sure. That doen't make it less real. Once the kids do have it, it's probably very very hard to counteract it without medication. My son's situation is more difficult than most as his mom and I are seperated. While with me (~4 days a months + 5 weeks vacation per year) I was working tiredlessly to get him out into nature or otherwise active, read books, work on his focus and on and on while at his mothers place the rules were... different. My new partner and I read books and listened to podcasts to figure out how to help him without medication and I tried everything to no avail. It might have worked if I had him full time, I don't know. It got to a point where he doubted himself a lot, where he hated to go to school, because he thought he's just stupid. It made me sad seeing him like that and the trajectory was terrible for his future self. Since he's taking Ritalin, he suddenly can focus and handle numbers to a good enough degree, that he can sit and focus through learning new things, which was impossible the first two years in school. He's now much more confident in his own ability and enjoys school again. Also, I've seen an improvement of his focus and ability to learn on days where he doesn't get the drug (basically all days where I have him) + he's not suffering from any side effects or withdrawal symptoms, so for him and me, it's like a miracle. I still support him in other ways and don't rely on the drug only, but I'm glad I opened up to him getting it. I have no experience with the harder drugs against ADHD and I'm opposed to trying anything else while he seems great with Ritalin. But to conclude: my Anecdotal evidence is that ADD at least is very real and Ritalin works great for my son. Would I prefer he would not need it? Of course, but for the time beeing it's the only solution which really helps.
Polls don't matter, only actual election results do and unless the AfD distances itself from the fringe and dangerous folks. I know a couple people which would be aligned with the party program but still voted CDU or SPD last time around because they don't want to be associated with the hardliners in the AfD which I can totally understand.
@adalluch Where does that money come from? Especially if the plan is to have more families have more kids, the parents wouldn't pay as much taxes anymore, so who is paying for all this?
@DrSuzanneH7 Whats the best form for vitamin C supplementation? Grok tells me liposomal liquid form. Can you confirm? And how many mg should I aim for per day?
@TheFlowHorse Took NMN for years, and then stopped last year after listening to a podcast discussing that there were no studies which showed more than just annecdotal evidence. Didn't notice any difference when I started and no difference when I stopped to how I feel
@Damocles561@Valen10Francois And even here the system is rigged against the people. Politicians just water down any decision people voted on, until it has nothing to do anymore with what people wanted.
@TheeNelDog@RealKidPoker Orderly, peaceful protest and demonstrations are not a problem here for me either, but I draw the line at violence, serious harrasment and destruction of property. That's not ok.
